If the camera supports it, tap (or click) the Control button to control it. (You may have to wait in line for your turn.)

Swipe (or click & drag) to move the camera, pinch (or use the up and down keyboard arrow keys or mouse scroll wheel) to zoom in and out. (Zoom may not be supported by some cameras.)

Camera Controls

If a camera supports user control, the Control button will appear. Tap (or click) it to request control of the camera. If the button turns red, you will need to wait the time displayed before you will gain control. If the button turns green, then you currently have control for at least the time displayed.

- Tap (or click) to request control of the camera. - You are currently waiting for control. - You will be granted control when the time runs out. - You have control at least until the time runs out. - You currently have control of the camera.

If a camera is "queue-less" then every user who connects to it has control of it at the same time. When this is the case, you will only see the green Control button. This can be either somewhat confusing or entertaining, depending on how you look at it.

If the camera supports it, a Presets button will appear that will allow you to view a list of the camera's position "presets of interest" that you can choose from by tapping (or clicking) them.

- Show / hide the list of camera position presets.

Once your time controlling runs out, the button will either stay green or turn black. If it stays green, that means that you will still have control until another user requests it. If it turns black that means that another user was waiting for your time to be up and now they have control. Tap (or click) the black Control button again to get back in line.
